\[\color{red}{\frac{2y+a}{2y+b}=\frac{a}{b}.}\]\[2yb+ab=2ya+ab\]\[2y(b-a)=0=>\color{purple}{y=0.}\]

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

now I will not solve any question further. It is upto u to try & get the answers now^_^

k

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

First cross multiply. Then u get b(2y+a)=a(2y+b) 2by+ab=2ay+ab 2by-2ay+ab-ab=0 2by-2ay=0 2y(b-a)=0 y=0 or b-a=0 b=a

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

ya sorry I forget to write one statement. good work @ajprincess.

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

This one is good:) \[\LARGE{\color{green}{b-a=0\implies b=a.}}\]

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

Ya it's really gud.:)

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

thanx:)

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

u r welcome.:)

@ Aj how come its either y=0 or b-a=0 The option is y=0 not b-a=0 also

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

what are the options u hav?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=0 y=1 y=2b-2a

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

ya according to ur question variable is 'y' so answer will also be of 'y' but a & b are taken as constants. & a=b is a condition in which the above eq. become equal. So choose \[\color{red}{y=0}\]

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

don't matter about a=b; it is only a condition but true answer is y=0. since u have to find the value of "y".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thanks

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

yw:)

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

Good explanation @maheshmeghwal9.
